Free contest, Best for Film White Christmas Competition (storyline contest), top prize: £100

Deadline: 24 December 2010

Enter our marvellous Write Christmas competition! Bored of the same old Hollywood Christmas movies? Us too. Best For Film are launching an epic writing competition this festive season - we want you to write a review of the greatest Christmas film never made.1st prize is £100 and your imagined movie made real with a one-off poster by the mind-blowing design team who brought you The Hurt Locker, In the Loop, The Last Exorcism posters and more. Competition ends 24 Dec, so enter now!

Write Christmas is all about wondering how great our festive film selection could be if we let our collective imaginations run riot. Any ideas will do; from Tim Burton’s unmade fantasy “Twas the Cheekbone before Christmas” to Michael Bay’s never made classic “When Santa Exploded”. If you have an unsung Christmas classic in you, it’s time to tell the world.

THE PRIZES – 1st PRIZE

First prize: An A1 poster of your made-up movie as imagined by OTM Entertain, the world-famous movie posters team that brought you The Hurt Locker, In The Loop and The Losers. You’d be getting a film poster as good as the ones by OTM Entertain featured in this gallery. Blimey!

Your review will also get pride of place on our homepage, along with short notes from our panel of judges saying what they liked about the winning entry, so you can tell the world that you are a published film critic.

Finally, you will get £100 to spend on whatever you choose. Netbook? Parchment and quill? Silk cushions to recline on? As a budding film critic, it’s up to you.

Two runners-up get:

£50 to spend in the shameless manner of their choosing

4) Attach a picture (263×219 pixels) if you like – we won’t judge any of the entries on their accompanying pic, but it’s sometimes good fun to add a visual!

5) We will send you the link to your published review. As soon as you get your entry’s link, send it to all your friends and family. Get them to like the article and show they’re real friends not just Facebook friends. Why…? Read on.
